Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I got my uBlock Origin ready to kill all the ads. That shitty website will not get a cent out of me.

What about you? Do you still use reddit?

Nah

pete,

I'm trying to stay away and I do feel like there is a reasonable chance I might be able to.
I recently subscribed to a Lemmy "self-hosted" and "asklemmy" group and content is starting to trickle in real good.

Mostly I feel it's a matter of consolidating Lemmy groups with the same topics into super-groups. This should help with general useability as well as making things more friendly for people moving over from Reddit.
Federation support for other Fediverse products towards Lemmy also will need some work still.

Only if a google search takes me there. I have no way or desire to view reddit otherwise.

Resistentialism,

I do. But only when I absolutely need to. I kind of miss the uk motorbike dub. But, eh, that’s just life.

If I do need to use it. I go firefox with ghostery, and Ublock origin. But that’s only because, if I search for a problem, reddit usually has it. If it asks me to use the mobile app, then, I can always just tell Firefox to use the desktop site, and I haven’t had an issue with that yet.

burntbutterbiscuits,

Not since July 1st…. For a few days I was refreshing google and yahoo news habitually but so glad I finally found lemmy

whatuptrey,

Nope. It’s the principle, for me. I will not use a site that’s run by a militant idiot. Same reason I deleted my Twitter account (although that was much easier since I never used Twitter to begin with).

hellishharlot,

Apollo shut down so I stopped scrolling reddit. I had a mastodon for a bit and realized I missed how good reddit style social media is in contrast so yay lemmy time

GobsImage,

Nein. I’m done. Ish. If I search for something and the answer happens to be in a reddit post, blahblah.

cdipierr,

It is wild/infuriating how difficult it is to avoid Reddit in search results. It feels like we’ve really let the value of the internet just accrue in one place.

Since deleting my account the only times I’ve been on it were when a search for a solution led me to it. So like 5 times.

loom_in_essence,

Yeah, there are a few subs that haven’t made the transition.

chahk,

No.

Purged all my posts and comments, deleted my 12-year-old account (65k+ karma) and uninstalled Boost. Now I only go there occasionally from search results.

sturmblast,

Removed reddit bookmarks and apps and went all in on Lemmy, haven’t touched Reddit.

oyenyaaow,

2 subs, one of them i go in every few days and go through almost every new posts and some older ones for quite some time now, and haven’t found a similar one here. and /whatisthisthing because seriously there are a lot of new interesting things there. and i guess i’ll answer if i ever were there. if old reddit is gone, i’m gone.

Wirrvogel,

I clicked by accident on a few links on Feddit that lead to Reddit (people should post archive links instead) and closed the site without reading immediately, otherwise I am clean since I made this account on June 12. I do still miss Reddit a bit, but I will not go back, no matter what the site does. I also reduced my online time drastically which is doing wonders for my mental health and how much I get done in my household.

ghostblackout,

No I gave reddit this Reson why I deleted my reddit “I’m done with all the oooo we want money for are investors and so we can go public so lest raise the api price and then foreseeable reopen subreddits that Locked themselves for a protest then say if you don’t like it then we will find people who do”
